Started out playing Empyrion in December 2016 with my gaming community; at first we did PVE, but after a couple weeks everyone had giant ships and it was all boring. After New Year's we found a decent PVP server and made some great content (mostly by getting constantly harassed by larger groups). We survived and got better and are now located on the Shattered Galaxy server where the admins are fantastic and the PVP is amazing, although the learning curve is still steep.
